You Want Me to Wash My Face With What!?

These charcoal skin care products are game-changers in your pursuit of great skin

Strips: Boscia Pore Purifying Black Strips, $15
If you love pores strips, you'll want to buy these in bulk. The charcoal powder makes them extra effective (pulling out gunk that's even deeper in your skin) while witch hazel -- a natural astringent -- makes pores look smaller. Botanicals embedded in the strips soothe irritation and cool the skin.

Bar Soap: Pelican Deitanseki Charcoal Soap, $10.50
Want the authentic Japanese skin care experience? This imported bar soap is for you. It's a natural plant-based soap made with moisturizing bentonite clay (so your skin won't feel tight, like it does with other soaps). Plus, the black bar will make your soap dish look instantly hip.

This vegan cleanser has a fantastic gel texture and vaguely lavender-spiked scent. The base is organic aloe, and it contains maple and sugar to exfoliate. In addition to the anti-acne benefits of the charcoal, it also contains bacteria-killing tea tree oil.

For a weekly deep treatment, you can't beat this mask. A combination of charcoal and white china clay absorbs toxins as it dries. Just keep in mind that it's best for oily skin, and you'll still need to slap on some moisturizer after you rinse it off.
